Well, went to a neurologist today. The net-net after his exam:

1) "I don't have a punch line (i.e. diagnosis) for you."
2) Tests

So I'm having a brachial plexus MRI tmrw, another EMG next week, and blood tests to rule out infection. He did mention RSD as a remote possibility, but much didn't add up. The fact that there's nothing at all going on in my hands had him very much unclear...thus the need for more tests.

Feel happy that I wasn't rushed out the door.

I also visited the ortho who was to conduct arthoscopic surgery on my shoulder this coming Friday. We agreed to postpone for obvious reasons and he agreed with the tests. The ortho also thought my ulnar nerve was inflammed...and this all could be a case of inflammation. So he recommended continuning with the neurontin and also taking anti-inflamatories (which I wasn't sure was a good idea or not previously).

So it's wait and see until these test results come back. Should get MRI results by end of week.
